Abstract

A small diesel engine made in Germany was tested to find out the relationship of torque, power output, brake specific fuel consumption, and noise level with engine speed under different loading conditions. A contour map of the brake specific fuel consumption versus engine speed under different loading conditions was constructed using a radar chart system based on test data. Output power increased from 1.32 kW to 4.05 kW and then decreased with the increase of rpm of the engine. This contour map gives quicker information to the farmers about brake specific fuel consumption at different speed of the engine. For this particular engine, the minimum BSFC was 260 g/kW-hr at 1400 rpm.
